RedNovelChapter 551: "Where's Brenna?" Tommy tipped his head toward the reception room, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.
"Sharing lunch with Mr. Mitchell." He waved his meal box slightly, the aroma wafting through the air tantalizingly.

"Lucky me. I'm not passing this up." Tommy grinned as he dug into the plastic crate nearby and retrieved the last portion, offering it to Joe. "They sent an extra; you can have it." Joe accepted it with a grin, then glanced toward the glass walls of the reception room. Brenna and Ethan were still deep in conversation, laughter lighting up their faces. He wisely decided not to disturb them and instead followed Tommy to an empty corner to settle in for a meal.
Meanwhile, Ethan's spirits were noticeably lifted. Seeing Brenna talk to and smile at him like old times melted away the concern that had been weighing on him for days. She wasn't cold toward him. She wasn't avoiding him. Relief loosened the knot in his chest.
Brenna, noticing the easy grin on his face, couldn't resist teasing him, "Who would've thought a high-and-mighty CEO like you would actually have the patience to sit around and wait for me? I'm truly flattered." Ethan noticed that Brenna hadn't brought up the blind date. She seemed at ease, and that alone made his chest feel lighter. The tension he had been carrying slowly melted away.
After they finished their meal, he reached into his jacket and pulled out a small red velvet box. His hands were steady, but his eyes carried a hopeful glint as he opened it in front of her. Inside the box was a stunning necklace. Its design was intricate, speckled with gemstones that caught the sunlight and shimmered like stars.

She was already wearing an expensive necklace, a gift from Giselle.
But she had never measured love by price tags or brands. What touched her most was the gesture itself.

Ethan beamed. The content is om english
"I'm glad you like it. Lethelp you put it on."
Ever so carefully, he unfastened the necklace Brenna had on and placed it gently in the velvet box. Then, helifted the one he had brought and N moved to clasp it around her neck. His fingers worked slowly, steadying the clasp, but his breath hitched when they brushed against her skin. Her skin was soft and warm, and for a second, his heart skipped a beat.
